In class, we are currently working on:9th Grade: To Kill a Mockingbird10th:Antigone11th:MacbethPlease ask your student what they've read during their day at school. Almost everyday there will be a quiz about the previous day's reading.There is an opportunity for my students to attend a field trip to Crystal Bridges in April. Flyers are in the classroom and available for students to pick-up. There is also an opportunity for double points on an AR book February 27th.

Another semester has begun, and with it comes the introduction of a new teacher to my classroom. Ms. Courtney McKinley will be in class this semester doing her student internship, and I am thrilled to have her here! You may be wondering what this means for your student. In a nutshell, they'll have Ms. McKinley teaching most of their lessons until the end of April. She will follow the standards set forth by the state, and will create lesson plans, grade students, and communicate with parents the same as I would. I will always be available should you need me, so don't hesitate to contact me during this time!
